XF 2.2 Make a thread only visible to registered users?

[Mike S]

Hi.

Is there a way to make a particular thread only visible to registered users?

 

[Paul B]

Permissions go down to the node level only.

You would have to prevent guests from seeing the forum where the thread is located.

 

[Mike S]

Ok. Maybe it is an option to consider in future versions of Xenforo or maybe there is an addon to do it (but I have not found it).

You might like this add-on:

Thanks @AndyB . It's not exactly what I'm looking for. In my forum, topics are sometimes a little personal and ideally they should not be seen by guests.

I also have the same question

I would like either a specific thread within a section to be unaccessible to unregistered users (but still visible) or even better would be a way to have hidden links within a post that are only visible/accessible to registered users. Is the latter possible with the current Xeno software or paid add-ons?

I'm trying not to create and entire new sub-forum just to lock this single thread away as this could kill visibility and engagement on a thread that has familiarity for users in the main forum section.

I have the same question as Hensmom.
Links that are only for registred User visible/accesible.
@AndyB have you an AddOn for that?
Thanks

Did you find anything?

Occasionally on my forum we have a thread that gets a bit racy and I'd prefer guests not to be able to see it at all but I would also like the registered members not to know I've set the thread to "registered only".

Hi Andy, by any chance did you create an add-on that has this functionality?

Neat! I have a couple joke threads that seem to stay at the top when wanting to promote my niche, I hid the forum from new posts but they complained. Looks like a great option! Go @Ozzy47!

Kudos to @El Porcharo for the original request.

Hi, thanks for that, it's almost perfect and free as well, brilliant

The only thing it's missing is that I didn't want my registered users to know that a thread is being hidden from guests and this add-on displays an icon on the forum list next to the hidden thread and a big notice at the top inside the thread.

To hide them both I've used this code in the extra.less file for now but if anyone has a better way of doing this please let me know.

.structItem-status--guestsHidden::before {

display: none;
}

.blockMessage.blockMessage--important {
   
    display: none;
}

I agree. I just edited the phrase to be blank. So, there's a little bar there, but no text in it. So, it's not likely to even be noticed... and if it is... probably interpreted as a display "glitch."

I deleted the text here:


So it looks like this to users on the thread:
There's just a little tan bar with nothing in it.

Thanks for that, my solution isn't ideal but I'll probably just leave mine as it is, don't fancy having the bar at the top.

@Ozzy47 this is your add-on isn't it? Is there a way to do this cleanly?

Not elegant. But, I'm not a coder and am not familiar with what you did (or how).
